Thanks a lot for all your help!

It depends on the tweeters. Sometimes it's better to have it directy at the listener, sometimes it may not. Reason you can mount the tweeters (conventional dome tweeters) off axis because the sound waves are distributed in a uniform pattern. Metal type tweeters are more forgiving when it comes to mounting off-axis. Of course, there are exceptions.
If the tweeters are not made to be pointed directly at the listener, and you happen to point it to the listener, it can sound unnatural and perhaps even fatiguing.
